Experience

Before founding Spotlight.Vegas, Osrow served as Chief Financial Officer of two publicly traded companies with deep roots in the Las Vegas market:

• Remark Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARK, 2013–2018): As CFO, he led financial strategy, investor relations, and SEC reporting for the digital media and technology company. He served as a public-facing executive on earnings calls and press communications, overseeing the company’s travel and entertainment segment, where he drove a 44% increase in mobile transactions and delivered positive EBITDA in a historically weak quarter.

• Paragon Gaming Corporation (2011–2013): As CFO of the Las Vegas-based casino management company, Osrow helped oversee a portfolio that included iconic Strip and Nevada properties. During his tenure, Paragon assumed management of the Riviera Hotel-Casino on behalf of Starwood Capital Group, orchestrating a $21 million swing in bottom-line results, taking the property from a trailing twelve-month loss of approximately $17 million to a positive $4 million within the first full year. Paragon also managed the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino and began development of the $600-million Parq Vancouver resort.

Earlier in his career, Osrow held roles at some of the most prominent names in finance and investment:

• Vice President, Banking Division — Citadel Securities (real estate, lodging & gaming coverage)
• Senior Analyst — Hawkeye Capital Management (buy-side investments & operations)
• Associate, Real Estate, Gaming & Lodging — Citigroup
• Principal & Chief Operating Officer — Houqua Capital LLC
• Associate — Reservoir Capital Group
• Assistant to the President — Ziff Brothers Investments (global family office)
• Business Analyst, Financial Institutions Group — A.T. Kearney

Osrow has also served on the boards of multiple public companies, including eQube Gaming Ltd. (TSXV: EQG) and Datasea, Inc. (NASDAQ: DTSS), bringing governance experience across gaming technology and data sectors. In 2025, he was named to the Advisory Board of PRIMA, a global hospitality technology platform, where he was cited for bringing “financial and strategic depth” to the company’s expansion.

He holds an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and a BA from Northwestern University. He lives and works in Las Vegas, Nevada.
